SALLIE'S BED TIME.-A father, not very
far from here, read ia the paper tbs
other morning that the Utica girls who
want their beaux to go borne the same
night they call, pull a string at a proper
hour which reverses u picture, on the
back of which appear the words, "10
o'clock is my bed-time."
This father, who has a daughter given
to late hours when a certain youth sits
np and helps her-keep them, thought he
would try this Utica plan, so he wrote in
large characters, ou the back of a huge
portrait of George Washington, this in?
scription: "10 o'clock is Sallie's bed?
time." Then be arranged the picture so
that when he attached a string to the
Frame be could reverse it from his bed?
chamber. But when Sallie entered the
room an hour later, ber apathetic eye was
outraged by observing the portrait of
Qeorge hanging out of plumb, so to
speak, and ia adjusting it ber father's
little game was revealed in all its subtle
ingenuity. So she just went to work
ind neatly effaced the figure "0" leaving
the 1 standing solitary and upright
which, you will observe, made a few
hours difference in ber bed-time. The
night, ns usual, Sallie received a visit
from her young man-which his front
name it was Henry-and her paternal
parent attached his string to G. W.'s
portrait, and retired to his downy couch.
About 10 o'clock, while Harry nod
Sallie were deeply absorbed ia some
knotty problem, with their heads so
?outigaous that you couldn't insert a
piece of tissue paper between them, the
Father of his Chantry suddenly turned
Iiis face to the wall, as if be was ashamed
bo gaze upon such doings. Henry, with
i sudden start, glanced at the picture,
ind saw the baud-writing on the wall, as
it were, which read: "1 o'clock is Sallie's
bed-time." Theu Henry looked at Sallie
with an interrogation in his eye, which
(Vus partly dispelled by the fair maid
murmuring, "It's all right." Henry said
jf course it was all right-that he bad
long known 1 o'clock was her bed-time,
ind he thought it wus plenty late enough
For a young girl to bo out of bed; but
what business, he said, had George
Washington's portrait to be flopping
ibout iu that way? Thea Sallie ex?
plained, and the twain resumed work on
'.he problem-Henry putting bis arms
iround Sallie to prevent her falling off
-ho ohair.
Meanwhile, the old mau was listening
For the front door to open, aud his
?Tould-bo son-in-law's footsteps pattering
iver the pavement, with the toes of his
boots pointing from the honse. The
lounds not falling upon his cars, and
hiuking maybe the old thing didn't
ivork right, be gave the string another
pull, and G. W. again faced the audience.
Then he listened; but he heard uo foot?
steps-nothing but a peculiar sound,
lomething resembling tho popping of
champagne corks. Theu he grew cross,
ind gave tho string another jerk, causing
Gl. W. to tara about with violent sad
lunuess, just as if be was dreadfully out
if humor, too. And still all is quiet be?
low-except that popping sound. Then
rho string was pulled again, aud again,
iud again-indicating that the old fellow
was just ready to explode with rage.
\nd for fully fifteen minutes did he have
the portrait of the man who could not
tell a lie taming excited flip flaps aud
things on the wall, like a bewitched gym?
nast, until he fell asleep exhausted
Sallie's father fell asleep, not tho por?
trait. Henry kissed Sallie good-night nt
L o'clook A. M., remarking, as ho did so,
that it would seem like a long, long,
weary year ere ho would see ber again
because, you know, bo didn't expeot to
seo her again until tho evening of that
day.
The next morning, her father exa?
mined that portrait, and when be fully
understood the situation, ho was pained.
He shed a silent tear, detached tho
string, sponged out the inscription, and
walked away with a weight of fifty years
on his shoulders-that being bis age.
Ho says a girl who will go back on her
father that way would just as lief as not
disgraoe her parents by marrying a Con?
gressman.

A, TOWN ?N TWO STATES.-We take the
following extract from the letter of a
correspondent of the New York Tribute:
BBISTO?, TENN., Sept. 12, 1872.
This town, at raddled as it is across
tho boundary line of West Virginia aud
Tennessee, is a comical study to the
stranger. I doubt if there bo any other
town in the country UH curiously disposed
in a topographical way. The bulk of it,
consisting of the main street, over half
a mild long, is two-thirds in Tennessee
and one-third in Virginia; so that a man
sitting recumbently under his own vine
and fig tree at the East sido of the tho?
roughfare can kick his heels over the
soil of one State and swiug his body over
that of the other. It is about equally
divided in population, number of houses,
churches, barber-shops and beer-saloons.
Every kind of atoro at the Tennessee
side of the street has its counterpart on
that of Virginia, and the street itself is
not more than thirty feet wide. The
Virginia corner grooery hus a bar of soap
for every ooo in the Tennessee store op?
posite, and vice versa. There are two
mayors, two sets of town officers and
two leading hotels; but they are as one
in a Federal hoad, or tail, if you like,
who is the potential representative of
the United States post office. .Here we
have another beautiful illustration in
miniature of our system of "checks and
balances," of unity in division and har?
mony between the simple and aomplex.
If a man appropriates his neighbor's
coat on the Virginia side, he has only to
oross the State to Tennessee, wrap him?
self in the stolen garment, and make
faces at his outraged victim. The law's
delay is about a week before a requisi?
tion from tho Governor of Virginia
reaches him of Tennessee and travels
down for enforcement to the boundary
line.
When the people fifty yards from
where I am writing have any aourt busi?
ness to perform they go fifteen milos, to
the town of Abingdon, in Weat Virginia,
while the folks here at the West, side go
eleven miles in an opposite direction, to
tho town of Bluntville, Tennessee. In
the latter State, when an election comes
off, the liquor stores at th's side are all
closed through the day; but the thirsty
topers cross over the distance with a hop,
skip and jump into Virginia, drink to
their hearts' content and return. The
Virginia side claims a pure and undefiled
Demooraoy; the Tennessee a mixed ele?
ment of white Democrats, nogro Repub?
licans and Union nondescripts, who aro
andeaided what to do about suoh a can?
didate for Congress as Andrew Johnson.
It is a curious town altogether, and all j \
by reason of its singular position. West I
Virginia has Bent commissioners to Eng- ?
land to hunt up and overhaul certain 1
ancient maps in the British Colonial
office, about which I hear a tradition
that therein may be found the original
boundary line, giviug Virginia five milca
more territory to the West than she now
possesses. I had a glance at a map in
Lynchburg over 200 years old, in which
the Chesapeake Bay is put down as tho
Virginia Boa; but this part of tho coun?
try ia left os hopelessly undefined as the
North pole. It will be well for ibis
town when its divided allegiance ceases
and one of the two States claim it in tolo.
For a place of 3,000 inhabitants, with no
grander . commercial enterprise among
them than a fugitive traffic iu batter,
eggs and chickens, the burden of keep?
ing two sets of municipal officers is
onerous.

Strikes in London mean something, if \
one is to believe the complaint of a I
London journal: "At ono time, weare'
threatened with tho stoppage of all
building projeots-which might be an
advantage in some .parts of our big cities.
Then the price of coal begins to show
an ularming buoyancy; aud the house?
holder grown a trille more concerned.
Then there is a call for domestic ser?
vants to rally round a revolutionary
banner. Now tho bakers muke a deadly
onslaught on our breakfast-table; and
the patient head of a family can only
turn and ask, what is to come next?
Well, he receives a frank answer. Win?
ter is approaching, and if wo don't pay
tho lamp-lighters better, they mean to
leave us in darkness." This is certainly
a striking picture of cockney life. We
don't envy our trans-Atlantic cousins.

THE ANTICS OT NKCHIO DESPERADOES.
A negro mob, some twenty in number,
led on by a white man, who, ft is
thought, is identified as a oertaiu eas?
tern house officiai, waylaid and made u
murderous assault upon Mr. James Ju -
Hun, about ll o'clock Tuesday night, at
tho Central Depot, near West Broad
street, Savannah. Mr. Julian had been
waiting for tho Charleston train, and was
on his way home at the time of the das?
tardly attack. Four shots were fired at
him, one taking effect io his head and
another in his thigh, and his clothes
were burnt and absolutely set on fire by
the flashing powder of the discharged
pistols, so near to his body were they
placed and shot off. Clubs and sticks
were freely used on the viotim of this
outrage, and after being thus wounded
and fearfully beaten he was left bleediug
and helpless and nearly dead, while the
guilty assassins hurried away. Some of
these parties are known, and os soon as
Mr. Julian is able to begin their prose?
cution, warrants will be issued against
them. At present he is auder medical
care, and suffering very muoh from bis
severe bruises and the pistol wounds.
Mr. Julian acted as a sworn special de?
puty sheriff during the election last
Wednesday, and made the arrest of the
negro, Josiah Grant, who was endeavor?
ing to inoite a row about the polls.

TUE SOCIAL Evin.-The Missouri Re?
publican, September 27, gives the follow?
ing iu regard to the treatment of the
social evil question in that city:
At the invitation of the Board of
Health, a numerous party of gentlemen,
including many promineut citizens, rode
ont, yesterday afternoon, to the site of
the new hospital designed for the recep?
tion of fallen women, and commonly
koowa as the "Social Evil Hospital."
The inauguration of this institution is
the climax of a system that, some two
years ago, received the sauotion of our
city authorities, and which, since then,
hus been carried on with all the rigor
md inflexibility of other established
laws-the registration of abandoned
women, their examination by a staff of
physicians, and their payment of weekly
ind monthly dues. The regular weekly
payment of a dollar and a-half by each
courtesan, and fourteen dollars monthly
[rom each keeper of a house of ill-fame,
lias resulted in the accumulation of many
thousands of dollars, which is now being
ippropriated, in accordance with the re?
quirements of the law, for the treatment
jf these women in sickness, and to place
?v i tli i ti their reach the means of reforma?
tion aud honest livelihood.
"WHITE WASHING."-Many of the his?
torians of the present day are as fond of
white-washing as a Congressional com?
mittee. The sensual, brutal Henry the
Eighth turns out, according to Mr.
Froude, to have been an excellent family
man, and, with the exception of a few
peculiarities, a tender husband and a
jaroful father. Lucrecia Borgia, say
ater writers, was a pare and spotless
wife, a mach slandered woman, and
knew no more about the compounding
jf poisons than a prattling child. Even
Nero is not, in tho light of modern
jssaysts of tb?i kind, the reckless tyrant
that bacton" and Tacitus paint, and as
to his tr" .onul use of the fiddle on a
Ber'-"' -eniorable occasion, it is the
-iKit myth. This last hero, how?
ever, docs not go unchallenged. The
ponderous intellect of Dr. Raab, a
learned Germau scholar, has been
brought to bear upon the subject, and
nus proceeded to demolish the German
